Good news for everyone who is an executive for a powerful telecommunications corporation!

John McCain is fighting for your freedom to impose your will upon the masses! Go, America!

McCain's bill, the Internet Freedom Act, would block the Federal Communications Commission from making Net neutrality the law of the land. The rule preventing ISPs from slowing down certain types of content would create "onerous federal regulation," McCain argued in a written statement.

According to a report at NetworkWorld, McCain "called the proposed Net neutrality rules a 'government takeover' of the Internet that will stifle innovation and depress an 'already anemic' job market in the US."

But supporters of Net neutrality argue that the rule is needed to ensure that Internet providers don't censor content, or slow down traffic to Web sites that are in competition with their business allies.

Come on now? Who are you going to believe on this? Some person who knows how to use a computer? Or John McCain?

I have a feeling this is not what Michael Steele had in mind when he promised to re-brand the GOP has newer and hipper…

Don't you hate, though, how these funny vial clips often make unkind assertions about politicians and leave you wondering if they have any proof to back up their claims. Well, turns out, there's a post for that.

Sorry, America, but it has been decided by the U.S. film industry that you're just too stupid, ignorant and closed-minded to get to watch a new movie about actual real testable science…

The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and has its British premiere on Sunday. It has been sold in almost every territory around the world, from Australia to Scandinavia.

However, US distributors have resolutely passed on a film which will prove hugely divisive in a country where, according to a Gallup poll conducted in February, only 39 per cent of Americans believe in the theory of evolution.

Instead, why not choke down some fucking shirtless emo vampires? Enjoy.

Our friend Gladstone's new episode of Hate by Numbers dissects Fox News' Neil Cavuto and his fascinating fascination with economic recovery, scientific research and what he personally stands to gain from a rat-on-rat stimulus package…

(If you watched the credits, you might notice that I contributed a joke or two. If you're wondering which ones, they're the ones that made you laugh. If none of them made you laugh, then I helped design the font.)

* Sean Hannity is awaiting a very important message from the invisible daddy person who lives in a magic castle in the sky. How important is it? Let's just say that we may all have to get used to using the phrase "President Horrible."

* Unfortunately, the invisible daddy person who lives in a magic castle in the sky is busy jotting down death wishes for the president from this guy.

* The Wall Street Journal and Digg double team Timothy Geithner.

* U.S. Chamber of Commerce preparing to sue Global Warming for being too based-on-real-science-y. (Spoiler Alert: This will work out well.)

* Can you believe it's been a whole 400 years since Galileo gave us the telescope? It feels like it was just 372 years ago.

If Stephen Hawking is such a brilliant genius, then how come he doesn't realize that he was murdered by the British government years ago, huh?*

Look! Here he is stubbornly pretending to be alive while disputing Investor's Business Daily's indisputable argument that if he were British — which he is — he'd have been allowed to die under the pitiless socialized medicine regime…

"I wouldn't be here today if it were not for the [National Health Service]," he told us. "I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived."

Except, when he said it, it sounded more terrifying and existentially unsettling than is immediately apparent by just reading it.

And, now that I think about it, Stephen Hawking kind of proves IBD's point. Under ObamaCare, we'll all be rolling around in wheel chairs and talking like Isaac Asimov characters.

Is that what you want?

^{* Also, how come he's not smart enough to build himself a full robot body to go with his robot voice? Sounds kind of dumb to me.}
